CARDINAL GIBBONS AND TIE Pope. Car
dual Gibbons had private interview yes
ierday Of nearly az hour with the Pope.
The Cardinal was received by His Holiness
with the utmost oordiality. The Pope is in
excellent health, both of body and mind.
During the interview he referred to the
previous visit OF Cardinal Gibbons TO Rome,
and the instructions then given to him as
archbishop of Baltimore il regard to the
Plenary Council soon to meet in that city,
displaying by the recollection OF details
memory ofwonderful strength and accuracy.
The Pope thanked the Cardinal for the
faithful manner in which he executed the
instructions then given. The Cardinal
availed himself Of the opportunity TO ex-
press to the Holy Pontif, personally his
high appreciation of the honor conferred
upon him by the consistorg which made
him prince of the church. Subsequently,
Cardinal Gibbons, accompanied by DR..
O'Conneli and Father Deazey, respectively
rector and vice rector Of the American Col.
lege, and Chancellor Donahue, the COM
panion of the American cardinal, paid his
respects to Cardinal Jacobini,' until recently
pontifcal Secretary of State. Cardinal
Jacobini is recovering from his recent severe
attack of illness. His reception Of the dis
tinguished Americans was, in The highest
degree, gratifying. He chatted pleasantly
with them, and extended to them hearty
welcome to Rome. Cardinal Taschereau
was received by the Pope yesterday. Cardi-
nal Gibbons had an audience with His
Holiness yesterday evening. The Palil con.

"a GLORIOUS ENACTMENT

Two of the largest manufactures in the
West failed in Chicago the other day,
and commercial and financial columns
give this as the reason: 1.-THE direct
cause of The failures was the interstate
commerce law" And this, we take it, is
but the beginning of the result of the at
tempt to divert the currents of trade, and
interrupt the operation of the laws OF
commerce.
The failure of the Chicago houses was
brought about by the inability of the man
ufaeturers to compete with rivals so stu
ated that they could best ship by water
routes over which the regulative scheme
of the law does not extend its jurisdiction.
As the Chicago Times fatty puts it:
And so the great wire-fence manufacturing
interest of Chicago disappears, brought to its
death by the continuance of demagogues and
the meddling of legislative empiricism. 1t is
only one more lesson added to the enormous
volume of human experience that proves the
unwisdom and certain evil of govern mental
meddling in the administration of business
affairs. The course of experience has been every

nation, still in the flexible period of growth
when society most easily adspts itself to changes

favorable to the adjustment of the relations Of
the railway system, also in its infancy, to
social requiremt nts. The process of adjust

ing forty years. Considering that from the be-
ginning, even railway men had everything to
learn by experience, the evolution had been

LOCAL DEVELOPMENT.

In our news columns this morning will
be found an announcement of the inten-
ton of the railroad company to put on
between this city and Folsom an accom-
mediation train for passengers, which is to
reach here from Folsom just before Z in
the morning, and return to Folsom at $40
in the evening. 1t is to make three
stoppages within the city limits upon the
south, another Just beyond the city, and
at the usual stations besides. This action
by the railroad company will prove great
convenience to those who work or do bust
ness in the city, and desire to have homes
In the suburbs, or to reach points between
here and Folsom after business hours 1t
is not to be expected that this new train
Will pay at first. 1t will take some time
for people to adjust themselves to the sit
uation, so as to avail of its full benefit.
But ii is sincerely to be hoped that it will
be so used as to warrant its being made
permanent, as is, we learn, the intention
OF the company. 1t ought to and will
prove, we feel confident, a powerful agency
in settling suburban Sacramento, and in
securing the erection of many more homes
in the more sparsely settled region
east of Twentieth street, and south
of the line of the road, as well
as north of it. The policy
of the company in putting on this train
may be taken as warrant of its belief in
the great advantages of the suburban sec
ton, and of its confidence that the whole
region between the city and the foothills
will be largely increased in population by
the incoming of new people, and by the
securing of homes in the suburbs by very
many Of our people now living in the more
thickly-settled parts of the CITY

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Larkin Avenue the Scene of Cruel
Murder and a Suicide.


About half-past o'clock yesterday after
noon, Philip Kienburg, cabinetmaker, shot
and killed Miss Mary Fassler. Immed :
ately afterward he shot himself through
the heart. His victim was dressmaker by
occupation. Since the death of her IA
rents six years ago, Miss Fassler has X
sided with the family of H. Huant, at All
Seventeenth street. The unfortunate young
lady was possessed of large circle Of
friends, who speak in the highest terms of
her character, Miss FaSsler was quite a
progressing young lady in appearance,
about five feet seven inches in hight, and
OF the brunette type. She was of kindly
disposition, and was beloved by all who
knew her.
klenburg was madly in love with Miss
fassler, having been acquainted with her
tor nearly year. About four months ago
ne proposed marriage to her, but was re-
fused. her affections being, apparently, CEN
tered on Peter Schiebel a butcher. to whom
Miss Fassler was to have been married to-
day. Upon receiving the young lady's
declination of marriage Kienburg informed
her that he would kill her rather than let
her marry another
Yesterday Kienburg met Miss Fassler on
the street and requested an interview. She
refused to talk on the street, but invited
him to return to Mrs. Franks, which he
did. The two mounted the stairway lead
ing 10 the second floor and went directly to
the parlor. What passed between tie two
will never be known, for in few minutes
the lady ran into the hallway and I'D the
stairs to the third floor, quickly followed bv
her maniacal lover, who had revolver in
his hand. Miss Fassler entered bedroom
on the third floor and threw herself upon
a bed, face downward, pleading with the
insane man. Her shrek of 'Oh, Philip.
for Gods sake, don't ~ was followed bv
three shots in rapid succession. the deadly
missiles entering her back, one of the bull
lets passing through her heart, killing her
instantly. With the still smoking revolver
in his hand Kienburg walked into an ad
joining room and, placing the muzzle of
the pistol to his breast, sped a bullet
through his heart
In 3 little while the curious crowd. at
tracted by the noise ofthe shooting and the
rumors that quickly few about, swarmed
into the house to view the scene of the
tragedy and comment on the appearance
OF the bodies. 1t was not long, however,
before both bodies were taken in charge
by Coroner Stanton and removed to the
Morgue.
Both Kienburg and his victim were men,
bers of St. Boniface's Church, on Golden
Gate avenue. Miss Fassler was of re-
ligious turn of mind and attended church
upon every opportunity. 1t was learned
last night that she attended confession yes
terday before doing her shopping

of the soil and of the industry of the

of the soil and of the industry of the
people.
The scheme to induce exhibitors to
abandon the State and District Fairs in
preference for that of San Francisco is
suicidal, shor-tsighted and scandalous. For
there is, az we have said, room enough and
time enough for all. The people of the in
terror should make common cause against
the plot. 1t invokes their hostility, and
should have it without measure or DELAY.
The rebuke the San Francisco manage
ment invites should be given in way that
Will be needed, and to expose fully the
folly of its senseless opposition.
In the meantime there must be such
action taken as will make the State Fair
of 1887 the most pronounced of all its
successors. There should be extended to
its Directors such aid as will enable them
to resist with all the certainty of triumph
the effort to strip from them the county
exhibits. If it is so willed this can be
done. There should be sent at once into
every agricultural and mining county
| active, shrewd and able men to organize
local effort for the State Fair exhibition.
Not township in the great valleys should
se left uncanvassed. Every section should
be visited speedily and the question per-
sonally discussed with the people of the
interior. A dozen men can be employed
IN this way, with profit to the exposition
and great good to the State.
We would give more for dozen repre-
sentative workers in this way than for all
the circular printing and wordy appeals
that could be written and distributed in a
year by score of advocates. What is
needed is local State Fair aid organization
in every county, and that can be had only
by the output of personal effort begun now
and continued up to the last hour of entry.
To aid some such scheme the people OF
Sacramento should do their duty as rep
resentative unit of the whole people; and
something more, because of the natural
local concern they have in the fair; and
still more because of their profound inter
est in the development of the interior.

THE CITY WINS.

In another column will be found de-
cision by the Superior Court of Sacra-
mento Hon. j. W. Armstrong presiding,
which is of profound Importance to Sacra-
mento. The question involved was the
right of the holders of the city's bonds to
the surplus remaining in the general fund,
the Water Works, school, fire department
and special street funds, at the close of the
fiscal year ending April, 1885. The Court
holds that the bondholders have no vested
right in the surplus of either of the funds,
and refuses the mandamus asked for. The
opinion of Judge Armstrong discusses the
whole question of the power of the Legis-
lature to control the right of the NUM-
cipality to levy taxes, raise revenue and
pay its debts. He holds that Legislature
may limit or withdraw the right at any
time. The decision should be read by all
citizens feeling an interest in city financial
affairs. 1t will be found to be lucid and
strong, and to throw much light upon the
relation of the city to its creditors.

THE issue between the Ministry and the
Deputies has resulted in the resignation of
the French Cabinet, and De Freycinet is
to name Ministry once more He re-
tired because of the same action that has
sent Goblet back to the ranks. How De
treycinet is to successfully name new
Ministry that can stand against the Cham
Der Of Deputies is the problem. The latter
represents the economic element, while
both Goblet and De Freycinet are the ex-
ponents Of schemes of taxation and outlay
that the people believe to be unnecessary,
or unduly burdensome. Such an issue is
not to be settled, it would appear, by rein
stating Ministry that is new only in
name.
